Lottery Life from Eminent Ghosts by Parkland Music Project

"As stated before, Parkland Music Project doesn’t shy away from longer songs. This eight and a half minute-long beauty builds upon layers of guitars that almost overtake the vocals in a way that conjures up a conversation in your head with a soundtrack supplied outside in the real world. This is very cool. When the voice comes to the forefront around the four minute mark it’s as though the itch that he’s singing about scratching is indeed coming right to the surface. Then, what is by far the heaviest drum and bass playing on the entire disc kick in." - Vancouver Sun

Lyrics

I've been waiting for just the right night
Count my blessings achieving such great highs
But it doesn’t really matter this will never last
You might as well wish upon every star tonight

You’ve been holding onto your lucky rabbit's foot
Your four leaf clover and all your comic books
But you would trade it all in for a chance at this
To collect a fate or scratch that itch

Crack those shells and lay it on black tonight
Spend your last dollar on a chance of hope
Spin the wheel, ride the carousel tonight
Just cover your eyes

But I don’t want it I just want something real
Just a chance at love not this spinning wheel
Because my life may be
Just the lottery that you seek

Crack those shells and lay it on black tonight
Spend your last dollar on a chance of hope
Spin the wheel, ride the carousel tonight
Just cover your eyes
